Tony Garcia's journey through the radio industry over the past four decades provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of syndicated content and the changing landscape of the medium. From his early days as an intern at the iconic WNBC in New York during the 1980s, Tony's enthusiasm for radio was palpable, as he recounted the excitement of being part of the station's shift from album rock to the burgeoning new wave scene.This passion led Tony to create his own syndicated show, "Wave Breaker," while at WNYU. Through sheer determination and a willingness to learn on the job, he navigated the complexities of distribution, leveraging techniques like bulk-erasing tapes to get the show into the hands of eager college radio stations across the country, and in Europe. This laid the foundation for Tony's deep understanding of the syndication business, which he would go on to apply in roles at companies like Progressive Radio Network and the Wall Street Journal Report.Tony's insights into the strategies employed by media giants like Dow Jones, who adeptly repurposed content across their various platforms, underscores the importance of adaptability in an ever-changing industry. The transition from vinyl to CDs, and eventually digital distribution, further highlights Tony's ability to evolve with the times, always seeking to provide the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for his clients.The story of Tony's involvement with the Bob & Sheri show, from the initial challenges to the eventual triumph, exemplifies his knack for identifying and nurturing talent. By enabling ownership of their IP and digital presence, Tony demonstrated a keen understanding of the value of intellectual property in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.As Tony looks ahead to the future, his enthusiasm for the potential of hyper-local podcasts and the continued expansion of Bob & Sheri, and publishing ventures reflects a visionary mindset.A video and transcript of the episode can be found on the network website.Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter.

Originaire de Long Island, Rick Rubin a grandi dans un environnement bourgeois bercé par la musique de Barbara Streisand, de Frank Sinatra et du latin jazz. Enfant solitaire, il a développé très tôt une passion pour la musique, notamment pour les Beatles, qu'il admirait déjà à l'âge de 5 ans.En grandissant, Rick s'est tourné vers le rock et le punk, dont l'énergie l'a profondément marqué, tout comme celle de James Brown, dont il a été littéralement bouleversé en assistant à l'un de ses concerts.Après avoir obtenu son diplôme, Rick Rubin s'est inscrit à la NY University, située en plein cœur de Manhattan, lui permettant de s'imprégner pleinement de la vie culturelle de l'époque. C'est pendant cette période qu'il est devenu DJ sur la radio universitaire WNYU, fréquentant assidûment les clubs et se liant d'amitié avec DJ Jazzy Jay. Ensemble, ils ont sorti le single fondateur "It's Yours" sur le label de Rick Rubin, Def Jam, mettant ainsi en avant l'importance du rôle du DJ dans la création musicale.Associé au très influent Russell Simmons, Rick Rubin va révolutionner l'industrie musicale, tant au niveau esthétique que sonore. Il est devenu l'artisan du son de nombreux artistes, allant de LL Cool J à Kanye West en passant par Eminem.En cette semaine spéciale pour célébrer son anniversaire, nous mettons en lumière le producteur, ou plutôt le "reducer", à travers ses multiples casquettes. Le "king of rap" est à l'honneur cette semaine sur SL1200 en exclusivité sur Grünt Radio.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Biologist Lynn Margulis gave us a new way to look at life—and perhaps, a new way to live it. She showed life doesn't evolve just through random DNA mistakes and competition. Instead, interdependence is the key. Cells are the baseline—not "selfish" genes. Loops and new relationships replace linear branches of life. Nothing is an individual: everything is a community. Every living thing is conscious of its surroundings. Evolution geographer James MacAllister was Lynn Margulis's graduate student, friend, swimming buddy, and assistant for 10 years, until her sudden death in 2011. He created animations of many of her discoveries, was her teaching assistant, and continues to digitize and represent her research. I met Jim at his home in Amherst, Massachusetts, where we talked about: -Old-school evolution thinking based on random DNA mistakes and competition (aka the Modern Synthesis or neo-Darwinism. Richard Dawkins, a neo-Darwinist, who often sparred with Lynn Margulis, once called her "Attila the Hen.") -Lynn's radically different work on how life evolves (aka symbiosis, biological relativity, systems biology) -How the Modern Synthesis doesn't do justice to the microbiome -How DNA is like a bundt pan -How Lynn and James Lovelock collaborated on Gaia Theory -How this view of evolution could change our outlook on how to live Keep an eye out for this new film, Symbiotic Earth: How Lynn Margulis Rocked the Boat and Started a Scientific Revolution.
